How to get plan view to reflect trims made to objects?

[Anonymous]

I've used RoofMaker to create the framing for a roof extension. It intersects and is built upon an existing sarked roof. So the existing roof is modelled and I've trimmed the RoofMaker rafters to it.

However, the plan view still shows the original untrimmed rafters, whereas 3D and sections show rafters as trimmed. How do I get the plan view to show the rafters trimmed?

Thanks for your help

Yes, you can cut at any angle you please. You could make the cut in a section/elevation window so you can visually set the correct angle, but the section view might only let you see one rafter at a time.

Alternatively, you could use the Rotate tool to temporarily tilt all the rafters over so the required cut is vertical in the floor plan, and then rotate them back into place after the cut is made. If you make the roof an assembly, you can use "Go to Model" to automatically return the rafters to their original orientation.
